In this paper the use of fitness devices is considered and a new approach for communicating with them is proposed. This new communication architecture is based on the use of some personal trusted device and Bluetooth technology. Personal trusted device is used mainly as the storage of the personal information. The Bluetooth technology is used for connecting different elements of the fitness arc...

People use an increasing number of personal electronic devices like notebook computers, MP3 players and smart phones in their daily lives. Making sure that data on these devices is available where needed and backed up regularly is a time-consuming and error-prone burden on users. In this paper, we describe and evaluate PodBase, a system that automates storage management on personal devices. The...

An ion trap/time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer combination has been developed in order to combine the storage capabilities of an ion trap with the speed and resolution of a time-of-flight device. The ion trap is an rf quadrupole trap which operates in the total storage mode, i.e., with the dc voltage=0 on the end caps and rf voltage on the ring electrode. The trap has an ion storage time of...

Power dissipation of IC during test mode is greater than the IC’s normal mode of functioning. Power consumption in scan based testing is high due to the toggling of the combinational logic during the scan shift.In digital systems power reduction is the most critical issue. A FLIP FLOP is a one bit storage device used for storage device used for storage purpose. Mostly used d-flip flop in digita...

In this work, we develop novel file system, FRASH, for byteaddressable NVRAM (FRAM[1]) and NAND Flash device. Byte addressable NVRAM and NAND Flash is typified by the DRAM-like fast access latency and high storage density, respectively. Hierarchical storage architecture which consists of byte-addressable NVRAM and NAND Flash device can bring synergy and can greatly enhance the efficiency of fil...

We have investigated electrical properties of a chalcogenide-based device with naturally oxidized Al electrodes. Intermediate-resistance (IR) states exhibited by current–voltage (I–V) characteristics, dynamic resistance change as a function of pulse height and decay behavior from a low-resistance state of such a device make multi-state storage feasible. These IR states could be induced by elect...

Intelligent storage systems were an active area of research in later half of last decade. The idea was to improve the throughput of data intensive applications from database and image processing domains by offloading computation onto the active storage elements and hopefully reducing unnecessary data traffic between data sources and compute nodes. With the advent of Object-based Storage Devices...

Flash memory is a non-volatile storage device that can retain its contents when the power is switched off. Generally, it is a form of an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) that offers several excellent features such as less noise, solid-state reliability, lower power consumption, smaller size, light weight, and higher shock resistant [1 – 5]. Flash memory acts as a sli...

There is a strong motivation for using multiple sensors for feedback control in ultrahigh accuracy data storage devices such as a probe-based data storage device. One elegant way to design such controllers using multiple sensors is to design a direct multi-input-single-output (MISO) controller using either the H2 or H∞ control design paradigm. In this paper we discuss the control of a micro-sca...
